OK I give in on this one -- its probably Rachel doing the RB with TK watching and the camera dude looks the same -- so now do we think there are 6 teams left in Croatia? I mean lets say there was a Fast Forward option .. still there should be 7 boats set up not 6 right?That would give us 5 known of the final 6 with the last team being in their 30's? M/F close in age could be brother & sister or a couple. Also a decription of a couple here at Slowhatch's find.

We also talked to some people from England who didn't know what the show was, but told us they had seen two couples in row boats being videotaped. They weren't sure, but thought one couple (team) seemed to be doing well and the other (who they thought was male-female) was having a lot of difficulty

here it is ~ From Eilan:

*There were probably 6 to 7 teams seen. *They came in a group of 3 or so, then one, then the rest. *There were at least one F/F team. And at least one M/F team who were close in age so could have been boyfriend/girlfriend or brother/sister, etc. That team was in the middle of the pack.

This is a tough one. The shadow seems kind of close to the wall (that TK is leaning against). I know from their other shadows that they were there around 4:30 to 5:30. But to call the time of the shot as 4:30 is on the edge of hard-to-believe. I will have to do a cosine correction to sort it out. And... I can't do that right now. It will have to wait until the w/e.

He describes the couple as a brunette woman and a man. He said that the man seemed very athletic and fit. He continued to stay for 10 minutes and another group came which he describes as another couple which consists of a blond girl. He THINKS that there was an Asian team far behind or eliminated already because he was a good listener. When he was walking into Taipei 101, he was literally 2 feet away from the blond racer and he heard the girl say something like “I wonder what the Asians would say if they came to this place”.

he thinks that Lorena and Jason were in but is not sure because he could only recognize the long hair. He says that he is not at all confident with what he saw with the second team. He jst notices a blond woman with a man(he didnt really see the man's face). He was pretty sure it was friday that he saw them because he was only advailables on fridays to go out.

my friend was not sure who he actually saw because it was 3 months ago.....he only THINKS its jenn/nathan because of the blunette hair of the woman. It could be another team he saw. Again, he is not a fan of amazing race so he wouldn't pay much attension to it. He only kind of payed attension because there were camera man around which inicates that it was going to be on TV.

today when I asked him, he said he didn't remember much....it WAS 3 months ago

Something interesting that I noticed after re-watching the first episode. Phil essentially said that there would be 11 legs (he states, "the first to cross the finish line after 11 legs..." at the starting line). Did anyone else catch this? Is this a mistake? I want to say no, only becuase I recall that at the beginning of Season 10, when they cut two teams in the first leg (and there were 12 teams to begin with), Phil said that "eight legs" would be elimination legs (essentially giving away the double-elimination leg twist).

after Ireland 10after Netherlands 9after Africa 8 or 7, depends on whether TBC is used thereafter Florence 7 or 6

Going into Dubrovnik, the correct number of teams therefore depends on the use of the TBC in a prior leg. If it was used as I predict it should be, then there will be 7 teams going into Dubrovnik. If it wasn't used, then all prior legs would be elimination points and there would be 6 teams going into Dubrovnik.

I remember what the press release stated; I'm just noting, however, that Phil said "eleven legs" specifically (not episodes). I also recall that Phil got defensive on a news program when the interviewer asked if they were dropping nonelimination legs.

Yea they coulding make it more obvious its 11 legs [mean 2 non eliminations legs], and i dont remember ever reading they dropped all non-elims, they said they dropped 2 [4-2=2] Now they have never counted TBC's as legs [well in AR9 they did], but i really think there are deffinally non elims!

I agree with the non-elim legs being where askip has them placed. With that being said, I am confused on the number of boats, but you really can't depend on them to give an exact number. If they are from test runs, maybe they used one to test. In the pictures, it seems they have more than enough room for one more. Also, just because we have shots of 5 teams and know of the girls as the 6th, the person visiting Croatia at the time, didn't see them all. She easly could have missed 2 teams. Or another thing to consider, the fast forward. There is always one team that goes for it when its offered. Maybe the producers thought that only 6 boats would be needed because one team would inevidably go for the FF. With Taiwan, they could have mistaken TK/Rachel for Lorena/Jason
